A new nine-year school for primary and secondary education will be built in Wuxi's Binhu district, according to a deal signed between the district's government and Nanjing Normal University in Wuxi on Nov 24.

The new school, known as Nanjing Normal University Binhu Experimental School, will be state-run and consist of a primary school and junior high school.

The 2.7-hectare primary school is currently under construction in Lihu New Town, Binhu district. It is located northwest of the intersection of Lixi Road and Zhongnan and will consist of two teaching buildings, one laboratory building, one dining hall, an administrative building, outdoor sports grounds, and more.

It is expected to open in September, 2021, with 36 classes for six grades being organized.

Designs for the school are intended to humanize students. The school will include a number of semi-outdoor spaces to connect each building, and students will even be able to safely enjoy outdoor activities on the tops of some of the buildings.

An underground garage with 190 parking spaces will also be built beneath East Zhongnan Road, in order to make things more convenient for parents and alleviate traffic congestion.

Officials said that construction will begin soon on the junior high school.

Hu Jinping, deputy dean of the School of Educational Science of Nanjing Normal University and a doctor of education, will be appointed as the school's chief president.
